Field Notes D.A. Bell April 9, 1990 07:50 - 09:30 : at Goat Rock, on Benbow/Phelps Ranch, Hamblett Co., (A). Weather calm, clear, sunny. Very thin cloud cover (<40%); fog settling in the valleys like a finger of lakes. Birds singing all around: meadowlarks, little larks, Robins, Lapuli Swarings. Flickers, Downy Woodpecker, Piledted Woodpecker calling. Blue Grouse drumming. Ravens seem to be very much "at the rock". Sitting in fir tree off to the left side. A Raven's "bi-up" call frequently heard. Rooks crowing from house below rock. No real sign of peregrines at rock. At best, a minute amount of whitewash on left right inner side of the pothole. I thought I might have heard a jirail "when I first sat down at dr. post on ridge below rock - but now I rather doubt it. Red-tail Hawk screaming, Kestrel calling, but no peregrines. Pair of Ravens seem to be prospecting on the rock - hopping here & there. Checking out branches. Western Flycatcher heard. ca. 13:00 - After Todd, Luther and I had spent the morning giving shots and ear tags to about 100 cattle and calves, we drove them with horses along road past Goat Rock. It was hot & sunny. What looked like a tiercel ad. peregrine soared over from the rock, sort of interested in our commotion. He seemed to follow above the herd, before eventually culling up high enough and disappearing off to the NE.
